A fast-paced thrill ride as I always expect from this author.

A high school English teacher foils a plot against the school by a former student.  But instead of being hailed a hero, blackmailers come out of the woodwork and more and more secrets are undercovered.  In trying to protect his family, Richard discovers even those relationships are not as they seem.

No real surprises in the end, but an enjoyable page turner to get you there.
